I do see a competition coming up in the near FUture! (There are a number of competitions during the month of June/July so, I have options to pick from!)

So what does this mean?

It means....

I'm in pre-comp mode again!(As of this past Monday!)

Working out is my passion.
I love the feeling of empowerment I get from it so whether I'm competing or not...
You'll always find me doing what makes me feel #STRONG! :)

Now, because I'm back on my pre-comp program...

I made sure to pack me some food to bring with me because I'm on the road (which I would have done either way) and...

I made sure to special order my meals! (I would have done this too no matter if I was competing or not!)

And, just so you know...

Balance and moderation are things I plan to continue on applying into my lifestyle as...

There's no way I see post-competition as a free ticket to binge or become mindless in my eating habits in my day to day life!

This guacamole burger and order of sweet potato fries I had after my competition from Milestone's was the bomb!I think my brother was jealous ;)

**Yes, I do/did enjoy some fabulous eats after my competition (which I will share soon) but, celebratory meals and random noms are not things that transcend into my daily maintenance program! I like structure, clean eating and being consistent with my 'diet', what can I say! I mean, I've worked hard to achieve where I am so, it's up to me to find a balance that works for my overall self (and body) once I enter into the 'off-season'! I'm learning as I go along so, we'll see how exactly things shape up once I get to that point of getting back on the 'normal' track! Do note that my competition body is not what I maintain off-season. That body is only meant for the stage not for maintenance! What I plan on maintaining has yet to be determined! We shall see :)**

No doubt...

I'm definitely excited to be competing again(whenever that may be lol) and...

I look forward to the added experience to be had! (Each and every competition allows me to gain on stage (and personal) experience and, it allows me to grow stronger both mentally and physically in my competitive journey! I enjoy competing and I plan to make the most out of each and competition...never forgetting why I compete in the first place! There's always something to take away and I'm grateFUl for all the things I've been able to learn as a result of competing!)

Okay so…

Seeing that I'm still on my competition diet (and not cooking up anything new)...

Here are a few more recipes I've been inspired to make and try post-competition season!

Good Morning beautiful! Very exciting to hear that you will be competing again shortly. It's so awesome that you aren't doing the post-comp "binging" that many people do. Thanks for including my recipe!! I will link up for recipe Friday a lil later today! xo Tara

Oh man, I was just at Target yesterday looking for that magazine and it doesn't look like they carry it now. :-) Congrats though, that's so cool!! I think that I would want to compete again soon after one comp b/c you're already in amazing shape and still in the competition mindset.

I do the same thing with racing--enjoy a celebratory meal and then move on to my normal eating habits. And, I've also done one event followed shortly thereafter with another. I think the first sets you up nicely for the second.

Congrats on making it in the magazine! Truly inspiring. I love doing races shortly after others, it keeps me motivated to stay active and not binge. Can't wait to see what the next competition for you is!

How exciting that you're going to compete again so soon. I love following along..your attitude about training and life is very inspiring.

Yum, that pumpkin seed pesto sounds pretty good. I find my cooking motivation in various places. Sometimes I try to recreate my favorites from a dinner out, or even things I used to make before I was vegan, and "veganize" them.

I love those recipes. I could definitely try some of those. I'm such a simple eater. last night we had a meal of hot sauce. Shredded buffalo chicken in the crockpot and Roasted Green beans with hot sauce. YUM! :)

Congrats on your magazine promo! and yay for competing again. thats awesome. I did see the IG stream for #recipefriday this morn. that's a pretty cool stream - especially useful to refer to as I am Trying to see my ab muscles. LOL. Happy Friday, girl!

wow, that salmon and watermelon dish looks AMAZING!! one of my local favorite restaurants had a watermelon curry special the other day, what an yummy idea! My current recipe inspiration is from playing in my own kitchen with recent food eliminations, and from Lori and Michelle at Purely Twins!
